Manchester United have decided not to pursue the signing of Brentford striker Ivan Toney, as reported by Florian Plettenberg. Toney, an England international, is in the final year of his contract with Brentford and is expected to join a new club. Despite previous speculation linking United with Toney, Plettenberg states that the club is no longer interested in signing him. The Red Devils recently acquired Joshua Zirkzee from Bologna to strengthen their attacking options. He will compete with Rasmus Hojlund for a place in the team. The club's leadership believes they do not need another striker and are willing to allocate funds to other positions before the transfer deadline. United is targeting a new defensive midfielder, right-back, and another centre-back before the window closes on August 30. Manuel Ugarte, Matthijs de Ligt, and Noussair Mazraoui are the primary targets, but their potential signings may depend on possible departures from the club, with Scott McTominay, Victor Lindelof, and Aaron Wan-Bissaka being linked with potential exits.
